Aircraft Data
The Boeing 707 was the first non military jet to be commercially successful and is generally credited as ushering in the Jet Age. It established Boeing as the worlds largest makers of airliners. Dash80 was the name of the prototype.
The -400 was produced at specific request for BOAC and powered by Rolls-Royce Conway 508 turbofans. Although BOAC initiated the programme, Lufthansa was the launch customer and Air India was the first to receive a 400 on February 18 1960.
